Cycling between Duinengordel and Terhills

Description

With this bicycle route you will explore the northern part of the Hoge Kempen National Park. You start in Oudsbergen, in the Duinengordel area, a wooded area known for its land dunes. Via Opglabbeek and As you meander through a varied landscape of groves, stream valleys and meadows.
At As Station, artful graffiti trains adorn the old station site along the Coal Railroad. In a straight line you cycle towards Terhills, where "Cycling between Terrils" offers a clever piece of cycling infrastructure. The floating bicycle bridge takes you from the twin terrils to the panoramic terril right across the gravel lake, a unique construction of its kind. The mine site itself calls for a short stop and an ascent of one of the shaft towers.
Along the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal you cycle to hidden gem Bergerven, where wild grazers greet you along vast expanses of water. You follow the stream of the Bosbeek through a wooded area back to the starting point near the Oudsberg, where you conclude this varied route.
